Restore is our annual Faith Matters gathering—a three-day event of inspiring speakers and incredible music, artwork, and community, all centered around restoring our hope, our faith, and our souls. This year, we’ll be gathering on September 25-27 at UVU in Orem, Utah. Programming will begin in the evening on Thursday and run during the day Friday and Saturday.

This event sold out last year, so we wanted to give our newsletter subscribers the first opportunity to get your tickets at the guaranteed lowest price before we open them up to the general public. So don’t miss out on this special experience and get your early-bird tickets to Restore today.

We are thrilled to announce our first two speakers at Restore 2025: Sharon McMahon and Arthur Brooks.

“I've gone to Restore since 2022. Every year I have come away feeling a sense of community, belonging, and closeness to the divine. No matter where I am in my faith journey, I am confident I can find peace and joy at Restore. This year was no exception! I found peace, joy, belonging, and community. I had ideas challenged in meaningful ways while also expanding my faith. I also found improved relationships with my parents as I shared the experience with them.” —John A.
